Here's what's new:

Spark plugs

Pedals

Fuel pump (im at 58psi exactly)

Fuel line

Oil flushed and changed/filter

Here's what is fixed/verified to be good:

Air filter

Throttle body

Valve lash

As far as I can tell, injectors are firing, but i have no way to test pattern/consistency.

Vehicle wont start without pressing the throttle in, and it just wont idle under like 1600rpm.

With that problem, and the things above, any information on what to do next would be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

Anybody need to do waterworks? Im not tryna solo it, but i want the hat and boots on my balance. Wanted to see if anybody needed to do it before hittin the ol team up kiosk or GTP mercs. Ill probably do 1 or 2 tonight.

Under all 4 intake cam lobes, zero clearance, and its keeping me from getting compression to effectively start it. Itll catch sometimes, but even if you do, it wont run well. Valve bucket is a 500, and there are no shims underneath. Are there different thickness buckets (im assuming that number is referring to the height/thickness between the valve stem and the cam lobe)? Or is the head just cooked and too far gone? It was recently rebuilt in the top end, for reference and its been having problems ever since, but thats when I picked it up from a neighbor. Thanks for any info on this, I like the adjustment method on my tractor better 😂 just a flathead screw lmao.
